Use this visual guide next time you’re styling your bookshelves. It’s all about achieving balance through color, texture, weight, and height. Try placing items with a similar vibe on opposite sides, like the two sets of books paired with bookends. Be sure to leave some open space to prevent the display from looking overcrowded. Varying the visual weight and height of objects keeps the eye engaged, so some shelves can have only a few items while others can be packed fuller. Play with height by stacking objects and incorporating a mix of different-sized decor. Stick to a color scheme that complements the room your shelves are in, and spread the colors evenly across the display. Don’t forget to mix materials for added texture and visual interest.
